Paper Record Player from kellianderson on Vimeo.

Check out the video above that demonstrates the really awesome wedding invitation for Mike and Karen’s wedding by Kelli Anderson. It’s basically a wedding invitation that transforms into a makeshift paper record player. Pretty amazing. This is what Kelli Anderson had to say about it (but check out the whole blogpost for more details and pics):

I just finished up a really fun project—a paper record player wedding invitation! In the booklet-style invitation, a bit of paper-folding amplifies the sound of a sewing needle moving along the grooves of a flexidisc record. The hand-spun record yields a garbled, but scrutable listening of an original song by the couple. It requires a bit of tinkering and folding —effectively championing the inner science-nerd kid in the recipient. The whole thing serves as an interactive packaging for the song—which can be experienced on the paper record player, unscrewed + set on a regular turntable, or enjoyed online (for the non-nerds and/or audiophiles out there.)

When Katrina popped off, the record dork community over at Soulstrut banded together to sell rare records and donate all profits of these records to the relief efforts in New Orleans. I was really happy to take part in both the selling and purchasing of records in that auction, and we raised a significant sum of money for the folks in New Orleans (in the tens of thousands of dollars). It was a really inspiring and productive thing to be a part of, and thankfully in the wake of the Haitian Earthquakes, both Soulstrut and rival record dork website Waxidermy are doing HEATROCKS FOR HAITI auctions again. The rules are slightly different this time around, but if you like records and want to buy and/or sell any on behalf of an excellent cause, please visit either of the sites below and contribute. You’ll have to join each of the messageboards to contribute, but I’d imagine that shouldn’t be too big of a barrier to anyone who really wants to be a part of this.

From the Top Billin Website:

The third and final episode in the ‘Tales’ saga has been a long time coming and here it finally is. The EP is our favorite so far as we got 3 very special tracks from our international friends and another 3 bangers from within our Helsinki crew.

Philly’s very own Emynd has been a Top Billin affiliate for a while and we’re super happy to have him on this EP. ‘What About Tomorrow’ builds on a timeless 80’s classic, starting off with club style chops and soon progressing into housier territory. This one’s for the ladies, no doubt. Emynd also killed it at our club night here, so go ahead and book him.

Go here to read about the release and download a mix with snippets. Gonna be a dooooooooooooope record! Available now exlcusively RIGHT HERE! GO COP IT

Just got this email regarding from Derrick @ Bustbright, the excellent graphic designer that helped us design The Crossfaded Bacon EP Bo Bliz and I did on Flamin Hotz Records. (As a sidenote, this EP should be available digitally within the next couple weeks!!) Anyway, here’s the email:

Just wanted to let you know the Crossfaded Bacon EP has been accepted by the AIGA for this year’s AIGA 365 collection in the Packaging category. Its actually pretty tight…the AIGA is the big Graphic Design organization in the US and competition is pretty fierce. Last year they only picked one music package, and it was this huge, Wynton Marsalis, history of the French Quarter music deal. There were also only 14 pieces from the packaging category selected among the 300 pieces total last, so its kinda serious to be selected this year.

Thanks dudes for being so cool to work with and for pushing this shit to be as dope as possible.
D.

We’re really excited!

-e

Check the youtube. This is a really dope, limited edition white vinyl record my dudes just put out of the band CFCF that you can cop HERE. Some mellow, melodic rock steez. I’m really into it. COP IT!

By the way, the covers look amazing. You can’t tell from this picture, but the cardboard sleeve is a beautiful cityscape photograph of Philly by the extremely talented Michael Penn and the cardboard sleeve will be covered with a plastic sleeve with all the graphics and text, including the drawings of Emynd and Bo Bliz by big homie Vlad from Toronto. Looks and sounds absolutely beautiful.

Big ups to Casi and Dan for putting it together, Derrick at Bustbright for the design, Starkey for the mixing/mastering, and me and Bo for killing it.

One sheet after the jump…

Emynd (pronounced “E-Mind”) and Bo Bliz are a Philadelphia-based DJ and Production duo that have made their mark by successfully producing an extremely wide variety of club-crushing anthems that range in style from Baltimore Club, New Orleans Bounce, House, and Old School Electro/Bass to traditional Hip-Hop production work with a variety of MCs. They have traveled extensively showcasing their talents and, most notably, make up two thirds (with Dan the Swede) of Philly’s now-defunct legendary party “White Ts & White Belts,” boasting an impressive line up of performing guests from DJs like Diplo, Low Budget, Scottie B, and Blaqstarr to major rappers like Freeway, Peedi Crakk, and Beanie Sigel. They are renowned for the unique ability to play a wide variety of dance musics without resorting to pretenses of irony and/or kitsch and have proven to be forward thinking producers with releases on a variety of record labels. Emynd has done solo production work on labels like Diplo’s MAD DECENT, German electronc label EQUINOX, and even the legendary Baltimore Club label UNRULY RECORDS. Emynd and Bo Bliz’s first record – the “White Ts and White Belts” EP also released by FLAMIN HOTZ in February of 2006—remains to this day to be one of FLAMIN HOTZ’s fastest selling and most critically acclaimed release.

Gaining support from a motley collection of DJs over the last several years, Emynd and Bo Bliz’s songs have become staples on the set lists of some of the most respected and celebrated DJs on earth. From this record alone, Diplo, Scottie B, and recently departed Bmore Club superstar K-Swift (RIP) have been spinning Emynd’s “Rock This Park” for the last several months, while Annie Mac has been playing Emynd’s “Hangin On” ever since she mysteriously got her hands on a copy of the unmixed and unmastered MP3 several years ago. “To All My Haters” was recently released digitally as the lead single to his “Philly 2 Bmore” EP on UNRULY RECORDS which has been making a lot of noise in Bmore, Philly, and beyond. In fact, “To All My Haters” was such a boisterous anthem, FLAMIN HOTZ absolutely insisted that the song be on this record even though it was previously released digitally. Furthermore, “Deep Down Inside” is a useful update of the classic House cut “Deep Inside” that completely recontextualizes the Harddrive classic, while “Flip It Snap It” is Emynd’s richly produced original creation that takes the Bmore aesthetic deeper than any of his previous work.

Likewise, Bo Bliz’s tracks are just as hard-hitting and far-reaching. His first track on the EP, “APW,” showcases Bliz’s continued obsession with the violent Bmore his “Philly Club Anthem” introduced on the “White Ts and White Belts EP.” Menacing strings and synth stabs, backed with vocals that will get any party-goer pumping their fists, “APW” would be the hardest song on this record if it weren’t for the presence of Bliz’s next track “Stick ‘Em Up.” Chopped drums, stuttering samples, a murderous bassline, and Ludacris’s indisputable command to “Put your hands where I can see em!” have made “Stick ‘Em Up” an absolute triumph. Bo’s soulful remix of “This Magic Moment” carries on an important tradition in Bmore club of turning oldies into club bangers that younger generations can appreciate in an entirely new context. Finally, his House/Bmore “Go Back” is a mix of the B-Boy classic “It’s Just Begun” that shows a departure from more traditional club style productions.

Outside of the studio, Emynd and Bo Bliz continue to hold down several DJ gigs a month in Philly while traveling frequently to DJ as well. In the studio, they’ve got a very busy release schedule planned for the coming months. Emynd has a digital release coming out soon on EQUINOX RECORDS and just finished a Bmore song with Rocafella/Def Jam recording artist Young Chris from the Young Gunz, NOLA Bounce producer Peacachoo, Philly rapper Reef the Lost Cauze, and several other surprises while putting the finishing touches on a solo EP that will be released shortly on his record label with Bo Bliz, CROSSFADED BACON RECORDS. Bo Bliz is in the planning stages of his own digital EP on UNRULY RECORDS.

From Stefan Glerum’s Blog. Click the link for the whole collection in detail, or here for the overview. Below are some of my faves.

Out now on itunes (and I think soon on Turntable Lab’s Digital Section) is my official New Orleans Bounce Remix of the amazing South Rakkas song “Mad Again.” I tried to keep this as traditionally NOLA BOUNCE as possible, rocking the Triggerman bells, the Triggerman breaks, the “WHO!” and the “Alright!” and the “Rock the Beat”/”Brown Beat” drum break. I also sampled vocals from Gotty Boi Chris, Dime Gyrl Drell, and a few others to attempt to give this an authentically N’awlins slant, ya hoird me? Anyone that knows anything about current Bounce music can tell that this ish is HEAVILY influenced by Blaza, Peacachoo, and Took who had a large part in the excellent NOLA Bounce mixtape Shake, Twerk, and Wobble (COP IT!!!). Big shouts to Mr. 604 as well.

You can listen to my remix on THE MYSPACE or on the Crossfaded Bacon 2008 Mix mixed between some more NOLA Bounce.

Shouts to Diplo and the Mad Decent army for putting the young bol on.
